Ok, that's probably it. I'm getting an (expected) link failure due to a 
missing symbol, and I thought that that would generate an exception.

Is there a way to know if there were any compile/link errors? In my case 
I can just hook into my error-parser to figure out if a failure has 
occured, but it kind of would be nice if there was a status code 
somewhere I could check.
